As part of the popular Magic Your Way Vacation Package, Disney Dining Plans continue to be Guest favorites at the Walt Disney World Resort. To improve this service, several enhancements are taking place that will expand Guest offerings and simplify the usability of the program. Starting May 31, Guests will have more flexibility and choice in using entitlements in nearly every Disney-operated food & beverage and merchandise venue throughout the Walt Disney World Resort.

The following will be included as of May 31, 2015, as eligible Snack entitlements for Guests with DDP:

All single-serve non-alcoholic beverages that are not in a souvenir container (single serve is equal to or less than one liter and excluding beverages sold at recreation counters);

All ice cream novelties;

All hand-scooped ice cream offerings, including sundaes that do not exceed two (2) scoops or are not served in souvenir container;

Additional items considered single-serve previously excluded are now included, such as Caramel or Candy Apple (with or without peanuts, excludes character-inspired apples),

large Mickey Cookie,

Tin Mints (1.5 oz), fresh-popped, scooped popcorn (only applies to Big Top Souvenir and Karamell-Kuchelocations). Note: Pre-bagged popcorn of any kind is no longer included in the Dining Plan.

MEAL ENTITLEMENT CONVERSION

Effective May 31 at quick service restaurants and select merchandise locations (listed below), Guests may substitute one Meal entitlement for up to three (3) eligible Snack plan items within the same transaction.

Some Questions Answered:

The price of a Mickey cookie exceeds five dollars—is that still considered a Snack?

Yes. If the item falls within the guidelines stated within the updated business rules, then it is considered a Snack, regardless of the price.

Is the pre-bagged Kettle Korn still considered a Snack?No. The only popcorn considered a Snack is fresh-popped and scooped by the location.

Can I exchange my Meal entitlement for two Snack options now and one later?No. If Guests choose to exchange their Meal entitlements for Snack entitlements, the exchange must be completed in the same transaction.

Can I exchange my Meal entitlement for two snack options?Yes. Guests may exchange the Meal entitlement for one, two, or three Snack-eligible items.

Can I exchange my table-service Meal entitlement on the Dining Plan for the snack option?Yes. Guests may exchange any Meal entitlement on any plan for one, two, or three Snack-eligible items (the maximum number of snack is still three).

Updated signage to reflect some of these changes will be in place starting June 4, 2015.
